Jenny McCarthy doesn’t have to travel far to marry her boyfriend of more than a year, Donnie Wahlberg.
RadarOnline.com can report that the former View hostess will say “I do” on Sunday evening at the historic Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois, just minutes from McCarthy’s home in five-bedroom home in Geneva.
“Everyone around town has been talking about the wedding,” a local resident tells Radar. “The hotel is closed to the public all weekend.”
According to Chicago’s Courier-News, the 41-year-old blond and her Wahlburgers star fiancé, 45, were spotted on Saturday heading into the posh hotel to begin preparations.
Locals have also reportedly seen Wahlberg’s brothers Paul and Jim, mother Alma, and former New Kids on the Block bandmates Jordan Knight and Danny Wood around town.
Unfortunately, actor brother Mark Wahlberg was unable to make the festivities, but sent his congratulations in an adorable Instagram video with his wife and four children.
“The national news is reporting they are in New York,” Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director Amy Egolf told the newspaper. “We are delighted to have them in St. Charles.”
McCarthy grew up outside Chicago, and after years of living in Los Angeles, she moved back to the Windy City while dating former Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher in 2012.
McCarthy and her Blue Bloods actor fiancé first stepped out publicly together at an August 2013 charity event— that took place at their wedding venue, St. Charles’ Hotel Baker!
